What are the allocation methods of a disk space?

There are three main disk space or file allocation methods..
Contiguous Allocation..
Linked Allocation..
Indexed Allocation..

Which of follow methods used to allocate disk space to the files does not supports random access into files?

Linked list allocation does not support direct access or random access. In linked list allocation, we need to traverse each block. If the pointer in the linked list break in linked list allocation, then the file gets corrupted.

Which method is the best among file allocation methods?

Explanation: The indexed allocation method is the best file allocation method because it removes the problem of contiguous and linked allocation.

Which allocation method is better for memory utilization?

A partition allocation method is considered better if it avoids internal fragmentation. When it is time to load a process into the main memory and if there is more than one free block of memory of sufficient size then the OS decides which free block to allocate. 1.
